	Emma Hamilton - National Maritime Museum
		Emma, born Amy Lyon in 1765, was the beautiful daughter of a Cheshire flsmith.
		Emma was then ‘protected’ and educated by Charles Greville who, in 1786, passed her on to his widowed uncle, Sir William Hamilton, the British envoy at Naples.
		The Hamiltons cared for the wounded Nelson after the Battle of the Nile in 1798, and Emma and Nelson became lovers in 1799 during the highly charged events surrounding the French invasion of Naples.

		Emma lived with the Honorable Charles Francis Greville (1749–1809), (son of Francis Greville, 1st Earl of Warwick) a young aristocrat who was deeply in love with her and sent her to sit for his friend, the painter, George Romney.

		The ceremony was required in order to justify her public reception at the court of Naples, where Lady Hamilton played an important part as the agent through whom the queen communicated with the British minister - sometimes in opposition to the will and the policy of the king.
		Lady Hamilton undoubtedly used her influence to draw Nelson into a most unhappy participation in the domestic troubles of Naples, and when Sir W. Hamilton was recalled in 1800 she travelled with him and Nelson ostentatiously across Europe.
		The profuse habits which Emma Hamilton had contracted in Naples, together with a passion for gambling which grew on her, led her into debt, and also into extravagant ways of living, against which her husband feebly protested.

		Emma's marriage gave her glamour, but Sir William was not a dutiful husband, and since girlhood she had craved affection.
		Emma struggled for years to wrest loans from family and friends as well as some sort of settlement out of the state, while she descended into ever more constricted circumstances.
		It is here that she most strongly affirms Emma's grit and strength of character: "Emma refused to be beaten, but she was destroyed by her mix of overconfidence and a wish to please, desires that made her vulnerable in a society that had no place for a woman like her.

		Setting the rags-to-riches story of Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) in social and historical context, Williams vividly evokes her impoverished childhood and struggle to survive in London as a servant, theater maid and dancer.
		Describing Emma's stage-managed seduction of Nelson, and the pair's passionate affair (which was famously tolerated by William Hamilton), culminating in a love child and a shared residence, Williams conveys the fickle nature of Emma's acceptance by high society.
		Hamilton, instead of treating his nephew's cast-off mistress as a piece of property, treasured her as if she were one of the Roman artifacts he collected.

	England's Mistress, by Kate Williams - Large Print Reviews - Audio Book Revie
		Emma Hamilton was a star long before the Cult of Celebrity was given birth by the modern media.
		Born in 1765 to an impoverished family, Emma began her ascent to stardom by becoming a domestic servant and then a street prostitute in London, before graduating at the age of 14 into the ranks of the girls who served at Madam Kelly's Mayfair brothel.
		It is fascinating to follow Emma's climb from the virtual gutter to the higher echelons of society and to witness how those around her related to her when she was in a position of power, and how their attitudes so easily changed when her prestige faltered.

	England’s Mistress: The Infamous Life Of Emma Hamilton \| Metro.co.uk
		Adopting a suitably breathless style, Williams illustrates how Emma's beauty — immortalised in paintings and later in fashion magazines — captured the public imagination in much the same way as modern-day style icons: at the height of her fame, for instance, Emma's dress style was slavishly copied.
		Emma lived for ten years in Italy — and as revolutionary fever spread to France and beyond, her myopic attitude towards wealth was mirrored by that of the imperiled ruling houses in both Italy and France.
		Hamilton eventually died impoverished thanks to her ruinous lifestyle yet, given the extent to which ruthless social climbing was often the only option for women striving for self-advancement, it's impossible not to share in the admiration Williams clearly has for her in this gripping, if somewhat superficial book.

		Emma Hamilton wurde als Amy Lyon in Chester, Cheshire, England geboren und wuchs in Hawarden auf.
		Ihre Heirat mit Lord Hamilton war ein gesellschaftlicher Skandal und die Eheleute hatten den Mut und Stärke bewiesen, es durchzustehen, die folgende Ménage à Troi - die Lady zwischen zwei Lords - war etwas Märchenhaftes, was nicht nur die Journale und Klatschbasen beschäftigte, auch Künstler und Köche inspirierte, sondern auch den volkstümlichen Cinderellaglauben nährte.

	Welcome to Dymocks Online. More for Booklovers.
		Emma Hamilton (1765-1815) epitomised the classic tale of an eighteenth-century woman's rise from poverty to fame and riches using nothing but beauty and feminine guile.
		Beautiful and vivacious, Emma was a 'fallen woman' in her youth, but in her twenties rose to become a titled lady and the toast of Naples expatriate society.
		She was adored by two of the most famous men of the eighteenth century: she was mistress, then wife, to Sir William Hamilton (1730-1805) and went on to capture the heart of the most famous sea-fighter of all time, Horatio Nelson (1758-1808).

	Lady Hamilton
		And when he was shot in the back and died at Trafalgar in 1805, his last words and his last letter --historically recorded-- were words of love for her as he begged his friends to take care of her and of little Horatia...
		She has up to the present been despised and her spiritual character has been distorted by prejudiced historians and by the hypocrisy of English society, to the point that even today many will not agree as to what kind of woman she was.
		The contradiction or split (alienation) between Nelson's personal wishes and personal life with Lady Hamilton and their daughter, and the moral standards of his time (or of English society, witness what is happening today with "Lady D."), may be putting in evidence the action --even posthumous action-- of TD10.
